cast:

Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep

A brilliantly executed synthesis of the funny (Annie Hall)
and serious (Interiors) sides of Woody Allen, Manhattan
follows comedy writer Isaac Davis (Allen) whose wife (Meryl
Streep) leaves him for another woman. Isaac proclaims, “I think
people should mate for life, like pigeons and Catholics,” and
embarks on a search for a mate which draws him into affairs first
with seventeen year-old aspiring actress Mariel Hemingway, and
then with fiercely trendy journalist Diane Keaton. Gordon Willis’s
gorgeous black and white cinematography paints an unforgettable
portrait of Manhattan. “The movie is full of moments that are
uproariously funny and others that are sometimes shattering for
the degree to which they evoke civilized isolation.” (NY Times)
